- Whipped cream vodka – I opted for this over vanilla because I prefer the flavor (and I usually have a bottle on hand for making my favorite key lime pie cocktail), but you can use either in this recipe.
- Irish cream – This adds a layer of creaminess and a bit of sweetness to the drink. If you want to make this dairy free, try Bailey’s almond cream.
- Amaretto – Amaretto gives this drink its distinct sugar cookie flavor. If you don’t have amaretto, you can also use Frangelico or another nut liqueur.
- Heavy cream – This acts as a sort of frosting. The fat balances out the sweetness and mellows the flavors the other ingredients. You can also use half-and-half or coconut cream (for dairy free).
How to make keyword
Rim your glasses. Dip the rim of your martini glass in simple syrup. You can also use corn syrup or agave. Whatever you have that’s sticky.
Just make sure you barely dip it. Any excess syrup will cause the sprinkles to drip down the sides.
Then, spread your sprinkles on a plate and dip the rims into them.
Shake the martini. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add your drink ingredients. Cover and shake until cold – about 30 seconds should do it.
Serve the drink. Strain your martini into the prepared glass and serve immediately.
